You sit on the couch, staring at the floor, feeling the weight of everything that’s been bothering you. Your mind feels clouded, and you can’t shake the sense of frustration that’s been building all day.
The sound of the front door opening catches your attention, and Pau steps inside, looking around for you. When he sees you, his expression softens instantly.
“Hey, what’s going on?” he asks, his voice gentle as he walks over to you. He kneels down in front of you, lifting your chin so you meet his eyes.
You don’t even try to hide it — the tears you’ve been holding back finally start to spill. Pau’s heart aches at the sight, and without a word, he wraps his arms around you, pulling you into his chest.
“I’ve got you,” he murmurs, his voice soothing as he strokes your hair. You bury your face in his shirt, finding comfort in his warmth.
He gently rocks you back and forth, pressing a soft kiss to the top of your head. “Whatever it is, we can handle it together, okay?”
You nod, feeling safe in his arms, the weight of your worries slowly easing away. Pau holds you tighter, his hand rubbing your back in slow, comforting circles. “I’m here for you. Always,” he whispers.
You let out a soft sigh, and for the first time all day, you feel like everything might be okay.
